“There is only one book in the world—the Bible—that is worth reading... It’s the only book where one finds the truth about man and his destiny.”

Fyodor Dostoevsky
In a letter to his niece (Jan 13, 1868)

How often do you feel like an alien?
This is NOT home.

I live as an alien in the land; do not hide your commandments from me.

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.

በእኔ ኑሩ፤ እኔም በእናንተ እኖራለሁ። ቅርንጫፍ በወይኑ ግንድ ካልሆነ በቀር ብቻውን ፍሬ ሊያፈራ አይችልም፤ እናንተም በእኔ ካልኖራችሁ ፍሬ ልታፈሩ አትችሉም።

Blessed is the man whom you discipline, O Lord, and whom you teach out of your law, to give him rest from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.

Do things that energize you, avoid things and people that activate you. You’ll get more done and have more genuine leisure time than you ever imagined.

"The bodies of irrational animals are bent toward the ground, whereas man was made to walk erect with his eyes on heaven, as though to remind him to keep his thoughts on things above."

John 1:1 stands as a cornerstone of Christian theology, introducing the Word—Logos—as both alongside God and as God Himself from the very start.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1, NIV)
